Brad Pickett stops Yves Jabouin in the first round with a massive right uppercut to make a statement in the UFC bantamweight division.

British bantamweight Brad Pickett has scored an impressive knockout victory over Yves Jabouin at UFC Nottingham.

Pickett quickly took the ascendancy against the bigger Jabouin, landing shots to the body to test the Canadian's durability.

The East London native followed that up with a spinning kick attempt, which was stuffed by Jabouin.

A tentative fight took a dramatic twist after three minutes of the first round when Pickett landed a huge right uppercut to floor his opponent.

'One Punch' Pickett followed up with a flurry of hits to force Leon Roberts to end the contest.

A huge win for Pickett improves his record to 22-6 and puts him in contention for a shot at UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.
